CH-19 Sucking blood...
"Mmm-!" Iris rapidly placed her own hands over mouth, stifling and moaning, And thought. 'W-Wait, deporting myself in such a manner would be improper.'
"Fufu~~" Amelia emitted a light, airy laugh. As she pressed her incisors deeper into the side of Iris's neck, a mild sting followed after she withdrew a small quantity of blood.
—Slurp! —Slurp!
'Ahh, Though the sensation has a ticklish feeling, my body had better capacity to replenish its vital fluids at an accelerated, preternatural rate.'
Iris said to herself, her hand resting on Amelia's back of head. she drew the other woman nearer. "You may drink my blood without any prescription since I can regenerate it as quickly as you overfill your hunger."
"Haaa..." Amelia withdrew her elongated incisors, now stained crimson, their vampiric proportions showed.
She looked at Iris with an astonished gaze. "W-Why is your blood so exquisite and distinct from that of humans and other beings? It holds greater potent energy. If I were to say further, would it not dazy you enfeebled?"
"Hahaha~~ The properties of my blood are secrets only to me… for now." Iris answered with a hint of sensitivity, obvious of the intimacy of their proximity.
Amelia didn't shift from thigh, not conscious of how visible her body was through clothes since it lossed a… lot.
Iris averted her gaze, feeling an uncomfortable unease in her stomach.
"Anyway, you're not as aloof as you pretend to be." Iris poked her two fingers with each other, tilting her head slightly as she changed the subject.
"Oh, that? It's because you're destined to be my closest friend and accomplice in all our criminal acts." Amelia quipped, twirling a lock of her blonde hair.
"Your hair has such a comforting amiability, reminiscent of my birth mother... Ah, let's not discuss my attitude. Though, I'm cold but also an amazing friend to my allies."
Nuzzling into Iris's neck, she murmured, "For now, all I wish is to be close to you in order to devour you."
—Slurp! —Slurp!
[Master, you two are practically an old married couple!] Harriet playfully accused.
'Wh-What? No way! I just… benefit her with her dietary needs.' Iris's one eye closed as she felt Amelia guzzle down her blood at an increasing pace.
[For real? Seems pretty intimate to me.]
'... I'm...just being a good host! A courteous, hospitable woman!' Iris insisted, her excuse growing flimsier.
[... Right!]
'...'
[And the award for Best Joke of the Year goes to...Iris Hope! For such a lame liberate and services!] Harriet guffawed while chortling like mad women.
'Y-You… Shut up!' Iris could only blush furiously as Harriet had a good laugh at her blatantly ridiculous apprehension but something happened she wasn't able to halt…
"Huh!" Iris's breath stopped for a second. she felt a hand sneak beneath her gown, tracing a path along her waist and stomach.
Though it avoided her most main areas like breasts and lower lips or butt, it still unsettled her enough to run away.
"I-I believe that's sufficient for today." she stuttered, pushing Amelia to the edge of the bed before expeditiously escaping to the bathroom.
"...Kuku~~ I had a feeling... there was something going on with her. I noticed how she always stole glances at me." Amelia tittered softly to herself. she reclined on her bed, alone in her room.
She had always been aware of her surroundings and what was happening, who was messing or not, yet she was indifference; As her motto — Everything has a solution but don't do it infront of a horde.
"I, too, feel attracted to her... she is incredibly beautiful, unlike anyone I've ever seen… My sincere apologies, Iris, for not intervening during the incident where you were struck by that person."
"However, you need not trouble yourself anymore. I had no problem over any of your past transgressions." she sweared, a faint rosy hue spreading across her cheeks as she reflected on an unvoiced reverie.
"My sole objective is to support in restoring the joyous life you dream of. I will work tirelessly to find a way to cure your afflicting brain tumor and heal the trauma you have."

"Am I truly enamored by her?" On the contrary, Iris was naked, submerged in the bathtub, she was red and heart was pumping faster like there was no end, as her mind brimmed with myriad uncertainties.
It wasn't a matter of love, but rather a flood of questions inundating her thoughts.
In her previous life, Iris had an infatuation for a suitor, yet she was interested at all: She prioritized her aspirations above all else.
Though Iris confessed her affections, she abstained from dating a romance relationship, sparing herself from the weight of commitment.
Even after this, they were still best friends or companions until he departed to choose his own ambitions, mirroring her journey.
"Yes, I have more productive pursuits than relating myself in a romantic relationship with others..."
After five minutes had elapsed, Iris cleansed herself and sifted her reflection on the mirror, especially on own neck.
"Damn it! How am I supposed to hide this?" The bite marks were prominently visible, potentially perceptible even from a frontal and backside view.
"Ah! This nuisance won't fade either, as a vampire's bite tends to leave a temporary imprint on the skin for approximately 17 hours."
Shaking off both the negative and positive emotions, she retired to the bed, while Amelia gazed at her holographic screen.
Without showing her face, Iris's back was facing Amelia, laying on the bed and shutting her eyes.
"Hey, can I give you a hug?" Amelia approached her, tweaking her clothes. "Last night, you seemed to be having a nightmare, and when I hugged you, you stopped screaming."
"Eh..." Iris was taken aback by her words. Though Iris had bad dreams of being tormented by her siblings, she hadn't anticipated that it would manifest physically as well.
"O-Okay!" Iris turned towards Amelia's direction, allowing herself to be embossed by that vampire, their faces close as Iris nestled against Amelia's neck.
"Good night, Iris!" Amelia whispered tenderly, as she turned off the light.
"Um, same to you!" Iris replied with shyness.
—Knock! Knock!
"Hello, Iris, are you there?"
